You can change the name of the main passenger on an ICE or IC/EC group ticket. To do this, you need to purchase a "Umpersonalisierung" (reassign) document for 15 euros per direction. If the main passenger is unable to take part in either the outbound or return journey of the group trip, a separate reassign must be purchased for each direction (outbound and return journey).
Important: In the event of a name change, the purchase must not be made via the customer account originally used, as otherwise the previous name will appear on the ticket again. Instead, the purchase should be made via the account of the new main passenger or anonymously.
When traveling, the "Umpersonalisierung" (reassign) document must then be presented on the train together with the ICE or IC/EC group ticket.
This offer does not apply to local transport group tickets.
Note: The reassign is valid for 1st and 2nd class tickets, even if it is issued for 2nd class.
